The 2017 WNY All-Star Games took place Sept. 24 at Brockport College. Over 60 high-end prospects took the field showing off their skill-sets in front of our PBR NY scouting staff and nearly a dozen college coaches. As the smoke continues to clear, we are fast-at-work piecing together all the scouting data we collected more than three weeks prior. Today we highlight yet another player who's performance earns an extra look.

Scouting Report

WNY ASG (Sept. 24, 2017) Schmidt stands 6-foot-0, 180-pounds with a strong looking lower half. He uses good rhyme and tempo in his delivery, side-step, high knee lift, hands are high around his head. Uses hip and shoulder separation, long stride down the mound, arm action is long and slightly towards the SS. His front shoulder is on an uphill plane, back side lower. Releases the ball from a high 3/4 slot, fastball range of 78-80 mph (81 this summer) attacking inside on righties. Curveball has both command and bite. Throws it for strikes in the mid 60's, sharp and out-of-the-zone around 70. Overall, great feel for attacking the zone with his fastball chewing up RHH's, looked extremely tough on lefties as well with a breaking ball diving away from the bat. With some added FB velo, Schmidt will be on of the top LHP in the state.
